My OperaCtrl+Shift+Enter in build 8246
Saturday, March 4, 2006 5:54:54 PM
Users of the latest weekly build might notice that using the Shift and Ctrl+Shift modifiers for the 'Enter' keyboard action don't work anymore to open the address in a new tab/new tab in the background.
For those not yet initiated: these are great keyboard shortcuts, they also work when using the bookmarks menu or the Hotclick menu (that pops up after doubleclicking to select text). For me, these modifiers make it possible to enjoy my tabs without having to uncheck 'Reuse current tab' in the Preferences.
Anyway, some changes in Opera made it necessary to add this behavior more explicitly to the predefined keyboard shortcuts. Those who did already make changes to section 'Browser window' will however lack these additions. So they should reset that section to 'default' in the keyboard shortcuts editor, or manually add these two items:

0 for reuse page
1 for new page
2 for new background page
3 for new window
4 for new background window
No parameter would obey "re-use existing tab" setting, or have a parameter for that instead.
Just my two cents.

I'd like this behavior to be put in the Quick layer, so it can be available for use tweakers, together with tweakable left & right-click behavior. But that's not a high priority. It would make it easier to emulate Firefox and MSIE 7 behavior though.

So how we can open the address in a new tab/new tab in the background, now?

Hold Shift while pressing Enter after typing a URL (or search terms in the search box).

You said:
"Users of the latest weekly build might notice that using the Shift and Ctrl+Shift modifiers for the 'Enter' keyboard action don't work anymore to open the address in a new tab/new tab in the background.".
So, in this "latest weekly build", how we can open the address in a new tab/new tab in the background?
"For me, these modifiers make it possible to enjoy my tabs without having to uncheck 'Reuse current tab' in the Preferences."
For me too!

You explained how to get this new behavior.
What I want to know, is if there will be NEW shortcuts for the OLD behavior!
I use them (the OLD shortcuts) very often, so I´m interested in the new way to open the address in a new tab/new tab in the background.

The shortcuts have not been changed. In an unmodified Opera 9 they are the same as in Opera 8: Shift+Enter to open in a new tab, Shift+Ctrl+Enter to open in a new tab in the background.
There is a problem only for those who have modified their keyboard shortcuts, section [Browser window], in the past, as they miss out on the few changes that had to be made to the settings file to get the same old shortcuts to work in Opera 9.
